Friendliest thing I ever saw was at Manila when a female security guard was assigned to watch closely as loaders worked inside the cargo holds of our 737 passing out bags to the trolleys on the tarmac. Once the hold was emptied the loader jumped from the cargo compartment down to the tarmac to be frisked by the female security lady in case he had stolen things from the bags.

She patted him from head to toe then reached down and with a big smile squeezed the area of his family jewels. The big smile was mutual and it was a sheer delight to see them both rolling in laughter as did the other loaders waiting their turn to be frisked. Try that in Australia and the unions would scream harassment.
